Why are the magical girls in your area male?

I've already sent out a request for backup. Be alert for threats around you. If you spot any shadow beasts with magic power exceeding your level attacking, flee towards the guild, understand?

"Sister Yuki, you must be joking! That's an A-rank Shadow Beast leader, how... how can you possibly handle it?"

Yuan Xun quickly frowned and tried to dissuade the other party from acting impulsively.

But Yuki Tsukishiro simply turned to her and smiled, revealing a confident look: "A-rank? Me too."

"...Wh-what?"

"I'll explain the specifics to you once it's safe. Listen to me, don't do anything rash, understand?"

Yuki Tsukishiro gently gave a few words of advice, then turned around, placed her hand on her chest, and the Flower of the Heart bloomed with dazzling brilliance. In the blink of an eye, her simple home clothes transformed into an extremely gorgeous formal gown.

After transforming, she braced herself against the balcony railing with one hand and soared into the air.

As the light blue dress descended, it seemed to blend into the night sky, her silver-white shoulder-length hair and the gold trim on the dress shimmering together, leaving a trail of light under the moonlight.

Yuan Xun rushed to the edge of the balcony and saw the blue figure gliding rapidly in the low sky, heading straight for the source of the magical fluctuations.

The light flashed and disappeared in the blink of an eye among the rows of rooftops.

She gripped the cold railing tightly with both hands, her heart pounding wildly, an indescribable anxiety spreading from the depths of her heart.

"Calm down, Yuan Xun, you need to calm down..."

Yuan Xun took a deep breath, and his gaze turned cold again.

She clutched her heart, and the Flower of the Heart suddenly appeared in her hand.

It was a beautiful heart-shaped gemstone, with an exquisite snow owl sculpture inside, symbolizing her identity as "Cut Cloud Snow Owl".

Strangely, the once pure white snow owl had somehow developed several purple threads resembling meridians.

"..."

"I am no longer that fragile, C-rank little girl who needed protection..."

"I, too, have gained new power..."

“Yuki-nee, I can’t always hide behind you. I want to prove to you that Minamoto Kaoru is not that weak little girl.”

"I will protect Aqing, and I will protect you too."

"I...have the confidence and the ability!"

She released the railing, took a step back, and stood up straight, the moonlight elongating her petite figure.

She slowly raised her hands, clasped them together, and pressed them against her chest—

"O Primordial Witch, slumbering on the other side..."

Please respond to me...

Yuan Xun closed her eyes, and the next second, a pure white beam of light shot into the sky from her center, instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness.

The loungewear faded away like spring snow melting, revealing a snow-white battle suit.

The pure white, symbolizing purity and snow, is like silk woven from moonlight, clinging to her body and outlining her graceful curves.

Her originally pure white hair was now subtly tinged with a light purple hue at the ends, a beautiful color reminiscent of a snow-capped mountain illuminated by the purple glow of nightfall.

She gazed into the distance, her pale purple eyes revealing a hint of inhuman indifference.

That aura of superiority emanated from her, as if it were innate.

......

The commercial street behind Shigenchaya.

The entire neighborhood was reduced to ruins by the devastation caused by some enormous creature.

The building collapsed, the exposed steel bars twisted like vines, rubble covered the ground, and the air was filled with a heavy smell of dust and a nauseating stench of blood.

The culprit behind all this is currently entrenched in the middle of the street.

It was a colossal structure nearly five stories high, its entire body seemingly a mixture of flowing oil and flesh.

The viscous shadow on the body surface writhed and churned like a living thing, revealing the dark red, hideous, pale muscles beneath.

From its appearance, it has an upper body that is no different from a human's, with incredibly long arms that can almost touch the third floor of the building on both sides of the street when they hang down, with constantly changing liquid shadows at the ends. As for its head, it is simply a lump of flesh.

Its lower body was a pool of wriggling oil, with countless earthworm-like objects boiling inside, a sight that was nauseating.

Compared to it, Yuki Tsukishiro, floating in mid-air, was as insignificant as an ant.

However, the immense magical power she exuded clearly caused great unease in the shadow beast.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The Shadow Beast let out a mournful cry like an old woman from somewhere, and its left arm condensed into a giant hammer, which crashed down without warning towards the spot where Yuki Tsukishiro had been standing!

The enormous shadow instantly enveloped an area of ​​tens of meters in radius, and the resulting wind pressure caused the ribbons of Yuki's formal attire to flutter loudly.

Yuki's eyes narrowed, and she transformed into a streak of light and retreated rapidly!

"Boom!!"

The giant hammer crashed down like a meteorite impact, instantly turning the spot where she had just stood into dust, leaving a crater more than ten meters in diameter!

The shockwave, carrying debris and dust, swept outwards. Although Yuki narrowly avoided the direct impact, she was still thrown away by the blast.

Her agile body nimbly flipped several times in the air, her feet tapping against the sloping wall to absorb the force and stabilize her body.

Two magnificent pistols, constructed from magic, appeared out of thin air. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" A series of gunshots rang out like firecrackers, and the barrage of bullets exploded on their black bodies like a storm!

"Plop, plop!"

The viscous liquid, resembling oil, sprayed everywhere, and the gruesome flesh below was blasted into a blur by the bullets.

"Uuuuuuu——!"

The giant beast let out another mournful cry, and its tumor-like head split open, growing out extremely thick tentacles!

The tentacles were covered with countless eyes, and as the crying stopped, beams of dark light suddenly shot out from those countless eyes!

A massive beam of light swept across the area where Yuki Tsukishiro was located, and everything that came into contact with it was instantly melted into a viscous black liquid!

Yuki Tsukishiro quickly dodged, but the beams of light from the other party were too dense, and no matter how agile she was, she could not avoid being affected.

The barrier was hit by the black light and immediately began to sizzle like boiling oil.

"Whoosh!"

As she dodged, the barrier shattered, and a beam of shadow grazed her body, the burning sensation and stinging pain causing her to break out in a cold sweat.

Are you kidding me? This thing's attacks seem to be able to completely penetrate my defenses.

Getting hit like that is no joke!

Yuki Tsukishiro knew perfectly well what was going on. She gritted her teeth and narrowly avoided the opponent's attack. Then, her magic transformed into a fierce thrust, propelling her forward like a streak of light as she tried to close the distance to that "head"!

A heavy firearm, resembling an anti-materiel sniper rifle, took shape in her hand.

She was in mid-air, aiming at the opponent's head. A huge amount of magic power surged into the gun, causing the muzzle to emit an increasingly dazzling light.

As the magic power was fully charged, Yuki Tsukishiro pulled the trigger, and a blue beam of light, like the tail of a meteor, shot out into the air!

But to her surprise, the shadow beast seemed to have sensed the terrifying destructive power of her move. Streams of viscous liquid gathered towards its head, and in an instant, they formed an extremely distorted shadow vortex.

The vortex spun slowly, as deep and dark as a black hole, seemingly capable of swallowing all light.

The beam of light fired by Yuki Tsukishiro struck the vortex and vanished without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea. It only stirred up a ripple before being completely swallowed up by the spinning vortex and completely dissipated without leaving a trace!

"this?!"

Yuki Tsukishiro was startled. Seeing that the other party was still full of energy, she couldn't help but grit her teeth and calm herself down.

Alright, since that's the case, I'll use you to test my newly mastered technique.

She took a deep breath, casually tossed the sniper rifle aside, and it vanished into magical dust.

Then, she crossed her hands in front of her chest and made a loose fist. The pure and surging magic power almost solidified and frantically gathered in her palms!

Her light blue dress moved without wind, her silver hair flew, and her aura suddenly soared!

The next second, she silently murmured a name in her heart—

"Eight shots in one flash!"

In an instant!

Her figure suddenly became blurry!

Almost simultaneously, eight semi-transparent "Phantom Danzhu" appeared in eight different locations, centered on the ferocious and enormous shadow beast!

These phantom Danzhu wielded various giant weapons, with extremely violent energy converging at their muzzles!

The shadow beast was clearly shocked by this sudden turn of events.

Its barrier cannot provide complete defense; attacks from all eight directions seem to leave it momentarily confused as to which side to defend against.

Yuki Tsukishiro wouldn't give it a chance to think.

The moment the dazzling light condensed, eight clusters of flames tore through the night sky and attacked the Shadow Beast with a ferocious momentum that pierced through heaven and earth!

"Boom!"

Eight beams of magical energy, like cannonballs, bombarded the Shadow Beast's massive body!

The black substance covering its body and the flesh beneath it were violently detonated, black liquid splattered everywhere, flesh flew everywhere, and a series of loud explosions were heard!

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The giant shadow beast seemed to be in pain, letting out an even more mournful wail than before.

This is not enough!

As the eight beams of magic ended, Danzhu, suspended high in the sky, had already prepared his final attack!

She was almost putting all her eggs in one basket, pouring most of her magic into this final attack!

The magic surged violently and suddenly erupted from her fingertips!

An incredibly thick, seemingly world-destroying, pale beam of light crashed down like a thunderbolt! It struck the block where the shadow beast stood!

"Boom!!"

The explosion sent rays of light soaring into the sky, and the shockwave swept through the surrounding area, destroying everything in its path and reducing the remaining buildings to dust!

Under the blast of this divinely punishing beam of light, the giant shadow beast's entire upper body was instantly shattered into pieces, and its head was nowhere to be found. Only charred tentacles dangled on its sticky remains.

Yuki Tsukishiro's face was as pale as paper, and her chest heaved violently, clearly indicating that this move had taken a heavy toll on her.

Fortunately, this move was very effective, and the opponent was indeed severely injured.

Now, all that's left is to finish up...

With that thought in mind, she tried to control her body, which was swaying slightly from exhaustion, and conjured up a huge handheld cannon.

But before she could gather her magic and launch her final attack, an extremely thick tentacle suddenly sprang out from the mountain-sized mass of flesh and blood!

The tentacles were covered with hundreds of eyes, all locking onto the direction where Yuki Tsukishiro was!

The next second, hundreds of arrow-like black slime were fiercely shot out, forming a fierce rain of arrows, rushing towards the wide-open gate of Tsukishiro Yuki!

The incident happened so suddenly that Yuki Tsukishiro had no time to prepare and didn't have much magic left to condense the folding mirror.

She had no choice but to grit her teeth, raise the giant cannon she had conjured, and hide behind it!

"Pfft, pfft!"

Fortunately, the Shadow Beast was already at its last gasp, and its final counterattack was powerless to continue. The giant cannon blocked a large number of black arrows!

However, a black arrow still pierced through the giant cannon and hit her side precisely!

"Pfft!"

"Well!"

Yuki Tsukishiro let out a painful groan. Looking down, she saw that the spot where she had been hit was surging with magical energy, and her Mystic Code was instantly corroded, leaving large patches of charred black! Blood was also flowing from the pierced skin!

Fortunately, the formal attire resisted the opponent's corrosive power; otherwise, this arrow would probably have seriously injured him and made him faint on the spot.

The problem was that, even so, the pain from the piercing wound still made her pale and sweat profusely.

She forced herself to look at the shadow beast, which was futilely raising its thick tentacle, as if trying to use its last bit of strength to kill her.

Yuki Tsukishiro gritted her teeth, watching the tentacles rise higher and higher, and decisively abandoned her prepared attack, retreating backward.
